From Levy:

Deirdre McMannus is a disgraced former cop now scratching out a life on the fringes of society as a private eye. She lives in a world where virtually everyone is LINKed, tied into a late twenty-first century equivalent of the World Wide Web, through wetware installed in their skulls. Most of the world's major nations, including the U.S., are theocracies and use of the LINK is limited to people who are members of an established church. This religious revival came about after angels began to appear on the LINK and proclaim God's message.

So see for implants, widespread cybernetic linkage, and the penetration of cyberspace by agents of the divine.
